Abstract
Traditional medicine encompasses a range of ancient, culturally-rooted health practices that were developed long before modern scientific approaches were applied to healthcare. Used for centuries, these practices often involve medicinal plants, which play a role in treating cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease, cerebrovascular disorders, hypertension, and heart failure. Hypertension complicates heart function and contributes to atherosclerosis, thereby increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Although numerous drugs are available to manage these conditions, many commonly used anti- hypertensive medications carry significant side effects. Medicinal herbs contain active compounds with both therapeutic and preventive properties, offering potential for the treatment of hypertension. This review provides an overview of several medicinal plants and secondary metabolites that have demonstrated hypertensive or anti-hypertensive effects.
